VICTORVILLE — Authorities arrested a 29-year-old man who they say murdered a business owner at the Victorville Galleria-Indoor Swap Meet Sunday evening.

San Bernardino County Sheriff's Victorville Station deputies and medical aid responded to the Galleria, 14560 Palmdale Road, at 5:42 p.m. for an unknown problem.

According to authorities, the 911 caller reported that someone had assaulted a clerk at the Indoor Swap Meet and was being detained by security.

When deputies arrived, they found Chong Suk Hong, a 62-year-old Victorville resident, suffering from "violent injuries," authorities said. Hong was transported to an area hospital but later succumbed to her injuries at 6:32 p.m.

The suspect detained by security was identified as Tom Raymond, of Norwalk, and he was transported to the Victorville Sheriff's Station where members of the Sheriff's Homicide Detail took over the investigation.

"Detectives determined Raymond walked into Hong’s place of business (Xtreme Menswear) where he robbed and assaulted her, including repeatedly stabbing her, then attempted to flee," sheriff's officials said in a statement. "There is no evidence Raymond knew Hong or had ever visited her business in the past."

Raymond was arrested on suspicion of murder and transported to the High Desert Detention Center early Monday morning.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Scott Stafford with Homicide Detail at 909-387-3589. Callers wishing to remain anonymous may call the We-Tip Hotline at 1-800-782-7463 or visit www.wetip.com.
